COURSE OVERVIEW

IBM is the second-largest Predictive Analytics and Machine Learning solutions provider globally (source: The Forrester Wave report, September 2018). A joint partnership with Simplilearn and IBM introduces students to integrated blended learning, making them experts in Artificial Intelligence and Data Science. The AI courses designed in collaboration with IBM will make students industry-ready for Artificial Intelligence and Data Science job roles. IBM is a leading cognitive solutions and cloud platform company, headquartered in Armonk, New York, offering a plethora of technology and consulting services. Each year, IBM invests $6 billion in research and development and has achieved five Nobel prizes, nine US National Medals of Technology, five US National Medals of Science, six Turing Awards, and 10 Inductions in the US Inventors Hall of Fame.

This co-developed Simplilearn and IBM Artificial Intelligence Engineer Master’s Program is a blend of Artificial Intelligence, Data Science, Machine Learning, and Deep Learning, enabling the real-world implementation of advanced tools and models. The AI certification course is designed to give you in-depth knowledge of Artificial Intelligence concepts including the essentials of statistics required for Data Science, Python programming, and Machine Learning. Through these AI courses, you will learn how to use Python libraries like NumPy, SciPy, Scikit, and essential Machine Learning techniques, such as supervised and unsupervised learning, advanced concepts covering artificial neural networks, and layers of data abstraction and TensorFlow. 

 

Artificial intelligence and Machine Learning will impact all segments of daily life by 2025, with applications in a wide range of industries such as healthcare, transportation, insurance, transport and logistics, and customer service. A role in this domain places you on the path to an exciting, evolving career that is predicted to grow sharply into 2025 and beyond. 

By the end of this AI certification training, you will be able to accomplish the following:
 
  • Understand the meaning, purpose, scope, stages, applications, and effects of Artificial Intelligence
     
  • Design and build your own intelligent agents, applying them to create practical Artificial Intelligence projects, including games, machine learning models, logic constraint satisfaction problems, knowledge-based systems, probabilistic models, and agent decision-making functions
     
  • Master the essential concepts of Python programming, including data types, tuples, lists, dicts, basic operators, and functions
     
  • Learn how to write your own Python scripts and perform basic hands-on data analysis using Jupyter notebook
     
  • Gain an in-depth understanding of Data Science processes: data wrangling, data exploration, data visualization, hypothesis building, and testing
     
  • Perform high-level mathematical and technical computing using the NumPy and SciPy packages and data analysis with the Pandas package
     
  • Master the concepts of supervised and unsupervised learning models, including linear regression, logistic regression, clustering, dimensionality reduction, K-NN and pipeline, recommendation engine, and time series modeling
     
  • Understand the concepts of TensorFlow, its main functions, operations, and the execution pipeline
     
  • Master advanced topics in Artificial Intelligence, such as convolutional neural networks, recurrent neural networks, training deep networks, and high-level interfaces

This Artificial Intelligence Engineer Master's program co-developed with IBM includes over 15 real-life, branded projects in different domains. These projects are designed to help you master the key concepts of Artificial Intelligence like supervised and unsupervised learning, reinforcement learning, support vector machines, Deep Learning, TensorFlow, neural networks, convolutional neural networks, and recurrent neural networks. 

This AI Engineer Master’s Program includes a capstone project allowing you to revisit the concepts learned throughout the courses. You will go through dedicated mentored classes in order to create a high-quality industry project, solving a real-world problem. The capstone project will cover key aspects from exploratory data analysis to model creation and fitting. To complete this capstone project, you will use cutting edge Artificial Intelligence-based supervised and unsupervised algorithms like Regression, Multinomial Naive Bayes, SVM, Tree-based algorithms, and NLP in the domain of your choice. After successful submission of the project, not only will you be awarded a capstone certificate but you will have a project that can be showcased to potential employers as a testament to your learning.

 

Project 1: Fare Prediction for Uber | Domain: Delivery (Commerce)

Uber, one of the largest US-based taxi providers, wants to improve the accuracy of fare predicted for any of the trips. Help Uber by building and choosing the right model.
